Judy Garland had different types of hairstyles and hair colors during her career in the movies, and the Hair and Make-up Department at MGM studios was responsible to give her the perfect look for her character. And because Judy Garland had a natural beauty and cuteness, it was easy to work with her and most fashionable hairstyles of the 20th century suited her facial features.

When her movie-making days were over, she kept her hair short for her television and concert appearances.

Judy Garland had natural red hair when she was a young child, but it turned natural brown during her teenage years and it remained that color. She had normal hair, never thick or thin.
